Singapore's pioneer GoFit gym opened in Geylang in early May, while another location at Changi, Singapore will open its doors this October. Another variant of GoFit is also slated to open in Brisbane, Australia, in October.
Marc Lorenzi, CEO of FitBiz Pte Ltd and licensee for GoFit Geylang, said, "We are very excited to be partnering with Asia's leading Fitness and Wellness operator Evolution Wellness. We believe in the thriving High Value Low Price market and our ambition is to allow fitness to be affordable and fun for as many people as possible. When we saw the concept of GoFit, we knew that this fitness offering was built for the future. The technology, seamless member experience and value for money provided to members made partnering with GoFit an easy choice. We are very glad to be able to bring this amazing product to the people in Singapore."

Whether you're a secondary school student who's just starting your journey with fitness, to the seasoned fitness enthusiast, through to the older population who want to stay fit in retirement, there's bound to be something to cater to your interest and fitness level. While our location may raise some eyebrows, we feel that GoFit's presence in the vibrant neighbourhood of Geylang is our contribution in line with the government's efforts to rezone the area to allow more commercial and institutional activities," continued Marc.
Siti Nurin, Director & Head of Operations at Fitness Capital Pte Ltd and licensee for GoFit Changi, concurred. "The recent Covid-19 pandemic shone the spotlight on the need to stay fit and healthy, but with inflation putting the squeeze on household spending, some people may feel the need to sacrifice or cut back on expenses. GoFit's no-frills model and flexible membership structure gives people a good, comprehensive fitness experience at great value."
